iPhone 18 Pro ‘drop test’ leaks get yanked from X
📍 The outcome
After a Tata Electronics hack exposed iPhone 18 Pro drop‑test footage and other confidential files, the material appeared on social media and the dark web before being removed from X. Apple’s legal team moved to suppress the posts, the company reported a pre‑market dip in its stock and announced adjustments to its security routines, and a crackdown was suspected as the leak videos disappeared.
Coverage of the leak has since faded without further updates.
